What happens if a puppy vomits from car sickness?
Puppy vomiting from car sickness usually has little effect; after getting out of the car, resting for 1-2 hours and breathing fresh air is enough to recover. If the puppy is severely carsick in the car, the owner can open a window slightly for ventilation so the puppy breathes fresh air. If vomiting is frequent, stop somewhere safe and let the puppy rest for half an hour. In addition, if the puppy keeps vomiting after getting out, or shows fever, bloody stool, or complete loss of appetite, consult a veterinarian promptly.
